‘It’s a miracle they survived’ A27 crash’

It is a ‘complete miracle’ a woman and her young son escaped a crash into a lorry without being killed or seriously injured, her relieved father said.

Sophie Levett, 26, and her eight-year-old son Callum, from Selsey, were overtaking an articulated lorry on the A27 when a tyre blew.

Sophie and Callum Levett survived without serious injury but Sophie lost the baby she was carrying

It careered them straight into the lorry and then a wall at speed, flipping and crushing their Peugeot 206.

Chris Levett said the male lorry driver and another female driver pulled grandson Callum out of the vehicle with only cuts and bruises, while another man comforted Sophie, who suffered a broken shin bone and is left ‘battered and bruised’.
